I was going to deduct a star because they had no biscotti to accompany my decaf cappuccino and to me that's the epitome of a perfect Italian mid morning snack. However the salted caramel brownie was flavoursome, moist and the coffee roast not bitter so need for my usual single spoon of brown sugar.

Go on a field trip to the Hammersmith branch, even during rush hour, they maintain consistency in their pastas. You also don't feel like you get scammed like at this branch, since there, the pastas are rich with...

A big shout out to Zainab and Evangelino who went above and beyond to make my experience special. They kindly customized my pasta and coffee just the way I like it, and it turned out perfect. It’s rare to find such personal attention and genuine care in customer service these...
